I like the Leica-Users List also, but not because of the intelligence
level which I, frankly, think is no higher than other lists, merely
more voluble!
Folk interested in niche products tend to talk at greater length
about them than those interested in the garden variety items.
Besides, most C----, N---- and M------ users are out
photographing and not trying to convince the world of the
legitimacy of their pets.
That said, I like Leica for reasons that are meaningful to me,
therefore, I like talk about Leica. And, hanging out with kindred
spirits is more pleasant than not. Wir sind landsman, nicht wahr?
